Bruggan Multicolor at ARCHITECT@WORK Madrid 2026: The Material Architects Wanted to Touch
Woodplast took part in ARCHITECT@WORK Madrid 2026 — one of the key professional events for architects, designers, and construction industry specialists.
This was not a typical construction exhibition.
ARCHITECT@WORK Madrid 2026 had a very distinctive atmosphere: black stands, precise lighting, restrained presentation, and an audience that came not simply to see new products, but to discover materials for real architectural projects.
That is exactly why it was important for us to present Bruggan Multicolor here.
We did not come simply with decking boards. We came to showcase a material that changes the привычное perception of composite decking.
Today, architects are looking for solutions they can work with on a deeper level — through texture, color, form, durability, and tactile experience. A material must be not only technically reliable, but also architecturally expressive.
Bruggan Multicolor was created precisely for this purpose.
It is a next-generation decking board that looks and feels far closer to natural wood than to conventional composite materials. It features a deep multi-tonal texture, a natural grain pattern, and a structure that runs through the entire thickness of the board.
That is why Bruggan Multicolor cannot truly be understood through photographs alone.
It needs to be touched.
This became especially clear during the exhibition. Architects approached the stand, ran their hands across the surface, examined the cut edge of the board, and asked questions about the structure, restoration possibilities, color stability, installation, and applications in different types of projects.
And these were the right questions.
Not general discussions about price or availability, but professional interest in how the material performs in architecture: how it ages, how it behaves in real-life use, whether it can be sanded, how it looks across large surfaces, and whether it is suitable for terraces, pools, hotels, restaurants, and public spaces.
For us, it was valuable to speak with people who understand materials on the same level.
When someone recognizes quality, long explanations are unnecessary. They immediately notice the details. They look at the density, the pattern, the edge, the tactile feel of the surface. And that is the moment when a real conversation about material begins.
The reaction from Spanish professionals was especially meaningful for us.
Many said they had never seen a composite decking material on the Spanish market with such a natural appearance and feel. To them, Bruggan Multicolor did not look like a typical WPC product. It did not create the feeling of plastic. In terms of texture, color depth, and tactile perception, it felt much closer to natural timber.
That is exactly why our definition of “innovative wood” was once again confirmed at this exhibition.
Bruggan Multicolor does not imitate wood only on the surface. Its color and texture run through the full thickness of the material. This means the boards can be cut, milled, and sanded while preserving their natural appearance.
For architects, this is a major advantage.
The material becomes more than simply a terrace covering — it becomes a complete design tool for outdoor spaces. It can be used in private residences, restaurant terraces, hotels, SPA areas, pool zones, and public spaces where not only durability and service life matter, but also the feeling of natural warmth and authenticity.
Getting selected for ARCHITECT@WORK Madrid is not easy.
The exhibition only accepts products that truly bring new solutions to the market. Manufacturers must prove the innovative nature of the material, its value for architects, and its distinction from standard offerings.
For us, participation in this exhibition became an important confirmation: Bruggan Multicolor attracts the professional architectural community not as another decking board, but as a new material with its own character.
ARCHITECT@WORK Madrid showed that the market is ready for more honest, tactile, and technologically advanced solutions.
Architects are searching for materials that do more than solve technical tasks — they want materials that help create spaces with warmth, quality, and a genuine natural texture.
For us, Bruggan Multicolor has become exactly that kind of material.
It can be described in words, but it reveals itself best in the moment when someone runs a hand across the surface and realizes: this is not a conventional composite, but a new kind of wood for modern architecture.
